“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)

February is normally known as the month of love. For some that may mean romantically, while for others it may mean loving those that are close to you. Whatever that is for you today, remember that true unconditional love comes from the Father who calls us His, His Son Jesus Christ for sacrificing Himself for us, and the Holy Spirit which guides us to love others as He has loved us.

Challenge: How will you display love to others this month?
